Whooping Cough.
Edmonton children are immunised against Whooping Cough. The
material used is "Vaccine A," and during the year, 751 appointments were
made for this treatment—488 children completed treatment.
The following table gives the age, incidence, etc., of those suffering from
notifiable diseases, excluding tuberculosis which is dealt with separately.
It must be noted that the figures in the second column " No. removed to
hospital "includes those already under treatment at a hospital, for instance,
the North Middlesex County Hospital.
This remark applies more particularly to the infections associated with
parturition and includes puerperal pyrexia and ophthalmia neonatorum.
